KANGAR: About 1.7 million tourists and locals used the Kuala Perlis ferry services last year, with December registering the highest volume.
Marine Department of Malaysia’s deputy port officer M. Parmaswaran said 296,045 people used the ferry services that month as it coincided with the school holidays and the Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition.
The 40 ferries servicing the route from Kuala Perlis to Kuah in Langkawi can carry between 100 and 400 passengers per trip and remain in service every day.
Parmaswaran said that although Kuala Perlis was a popular choice for tourists going to Langkawi, the fares had not been revised.
Adults are charged RM18 and children below 12 years RM13. “I believe the fares will remain the same this year,” he said. — Bernama
